1980 Holden Gemini SLX review from Australia and New Zealand
"A zippy little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Left brake light needs to be replaced regularly.
Left indicator needs to be turned off manually.
Dashboard has major cracks.
Seats wearing out.
Boot has major rust throughout.
General comments?
This is an incredibly zippy car and handles great. However,it has very hard suspension which makes for an uncomfortable ride (especially over speed bumps).
The car had had two motors before I got it and has done quite a few kilometers (325,000).
